high-profile trials

High-profile trials are legal cases that attract significant public interest, often due to their dramatic details, celebrity involvement, or social implications. These trials can involve serious crimes, civil disputes, or politically sensitive issues. Media coverage tends to be extensive, shaping public perception and sometimes even influencing the trial's dynamics. Because of their visibility, these cases can prompt discussions about justice, ethics, and the legal system. Examples include the O.J. Simpson murder trial and the trial of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd, both of which highlighted broader societal issues while capturing widespread attention.
